Catalan stewed peas
Explanation:
they're cooked in a covered pan with liquid - not what I call sauteing
I think "stewed" is fine for such dishes.

It’s 4pm. The meal is served at a Spanish hour. The stewed peas and suquet de peix (fish soup) plates are presented simply, but have a sophisticated, irresistible taste. The crema catalana rounds up with a dish which represents a certain symbol in contemporary Spanish cooking: avant-garde in its preparatory techniques, but without losing the essence of products coming from the Catalan earth.

Sautéed peas a la Catalana / Catalan-style sautéed peas


Explanation:
Aunque "ahogados" suena a que lleven un montón de aceite, de hecho solo son salteados.

agree  Evans (X): we recently had a long and involved (and slightly overheated) discussion on Proz in French/English on the use of "stewed" in a very similar circumstance. My vote was for "stewed" then and is now.

Explanation:

braised peas a la catalana/Catalan braised peas


Explanation:
this sounds better to my ear - I associate 'stewed peas' with West Indian cooking :)
