A substitute for Anaheim Peppers

I am making a dish that requires Anaheim Peppers. They don't have them in my local store… what else can I use.

You need to substitute a mild pepper . . . be careful not to add something much hotter or you may change the whole concept of the dish . . . unless of course you are trying to kick up the heat a bit.

As suggested, a Poblano is the best substitute. Other names for Anaheim peppers are: California Green Chile; Long Green Pepper; and Chile Verde.
