Add the bell peppers and shallots, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are very soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Put the cashews and 1-1/2 cups of the vegetable stock in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the cooked peppers, mustard, salt, and pepper, and puree.
