During one of my grocery walks I found aji panca, one of the main ingredients of anitcucho marinade, but there was no aji amarillo. Could anyone tell me a reasonable substitute for this pepper's specific flavour profile, with little change to the taste of authentic anticucho? I also found some rocoto paste, would this do?

Thanks

If I am unable to source out the aji amarillo locally, I'll just wing it. I'll try habanero first or perhaps a mixture of other sweet pepper. I'll try removing the seeds and membranes and soaking the habanero in milk to lower the heat a little.

Growing up, my dad always used the Hungarian wax peppers as a suitable, if not perfect, substitute. Having subsequently had the chance to try the real thing, i think the substitute is reasonable. It has the similar grassy flavor and the heat levels are fairly close.
