Equipment

  • 1 Stove
  • 1 Oven if roasting

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 Poblano Peppers depending on serving size
  • 8-12 Cubanelle Peppers
  • 2-3 Jalapeño Peppers
  • 1 Bell Pepper any color
  • 4-6 Banana Peppers

Instructions
 

  • For Poblano peppers, roast them under the broiler for about 10 minutes until the skin is charred. Let them cool, then peel off the skin before using in your dish.
  • Cubanelle peppers can be used raw or cooked, depending on the recipe. Slice and add to salads for a refreshing crunch, or sauté them for added flavor in dishes.
  • Remove seeds and membranes from Jalapeño peppers and use 2-3 per 1 Anaheim pepper called for in the recipe.
  • For bell peppers, slice them into thin strips and use as a 1:1 substitute for Anaheim peppers when not looking for any spice.
  • Use 1 banana pepper per Anaheim pepper if you want a milder taste or replace with two peppers for a slight increase in heat.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the substitute peppers if you prefer a milder taste.
  • Adjust the amount of peppers used according to your personal preference for spiciness. 1:1 substitution will provide a similar level of spice, while increasing or decreasing the amount can adjust it accordingly.
