Cut thin slice from stem end of each pepper. Remove seeds and membrane; rinse. Arrange peppers in circle in 9- or 10-inch pie plate. Mix remaining ingredients except water. Fill each pepper by 2/3 cup mixture. Spoon 2 tablespoons water into each pepper. Cover loosely and microwave 6 minutes on high (100%); rotate pie plate 1/2 turn. Microwave until peppers are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
