Nutty-Tart Bell Peppers with Peanuts

Cooked according to the directions below, my bell peppers blackened much more quickly than I thought they would and the water evaporated so quickly I ended up with what looked like a mess. I was worried that my dish was a complete disaster, but it was delicious! If you like bell peppers, this is a dish worth trying.
