1) if using fresh peas, blanch in boiling, salted water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer peas to ice water using a slotted spoon. Drain peas. If using frozen peas, skip this step - thaw & drain peas.
2) Heat 1 Tbls olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When oil is shimmering, add peas, 1 Tbls mint leaves, garlic, zest & pepper flakes. Cook until peas are heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer peas to a bowl, taste and adjust seasoning with salt & pepper.
3) Return skillet over medium heat and add remaining 1 Tbls oil, salt & lemon juice. Add cheese cliches and fry until golden, about 1 minute per side.
4) In a small brown, dress arugula lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, salt & lemon juice. Divide arugula among 4 plates, arrange 2 cheese slices per plate atop arugula and springy the pea mixture around. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, top with remaining mint and serve.
A fun tip - cook cheese before the peas and flambé with your favorite liquor. Then cook peas in to liquor to add extra flavor. So good,
