I live in a community where tomatillos aren't readilly available. Is there a suitable substitute that would be available at my green grocer?

First I'd check for canned tomatillos; in a stew such as this they'd probably be OK. You would find them in the Mexican section of your grocery, if they've got one. Green/under ripe tomatoes can give a similar texture and bite, but it's obviously not an equivalent substitution. I've never tried it,so can't give you firm information on what else you'd need to add as balance.
