Sorry this is NOT sweating, this is a method to remove the outer skin of
the pepper by burning the outer layer and it then peels after sitting.
This is similar to peeling after a sunburn.

Again sweating is using low heat to make the item give up moisture. If
the item is too wet the subsequent dish will be overly wet. Many peppers
have a high moisture content leading to soggy final dishes.
