Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients for the Babi Guling:

• Whole pig (about 10-15 kg, cleaned and dressed)
• Salt (to taste)
• Bumbu (spices) for marination:
  • 5 shallots
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 3-5 red chilies (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon galangal (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 stalks lemongrass (bruised)
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves

Tip: You can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste preferences.

Step 2: Make the Spice Paste

1. Blend the Ingredients:

   • In a blender, combine shallots, garlic, red chilies, turmeric, coriander seeds, ginger, galangal, black pepper, and a bit of water to create a paste.

   # Spice Paste Recipe
   - 5 shallots
   - 5 cloves of garlic
   - 3-5 red chilies
   - 1 tbsp turmeric powder
   - 1 tbsp coriander seeds
   - 1 tsp ginger
   - 1 tsp galangal
   - 1 tsp black pepper
   

2. Cook the Paste:

   • Heat some oil in a pan and sauté the blended paste until fragrant and slightly browned.

Common Pitfall: Avoid overcooking the paste; it should enhance the flavors without becoming burnt.

Step 3: Marinate the Pig

1. Rub the Spice Paste:

   • Thoroughly rub the spice paste into the pig, ensuring it penetrates the skin and meat.

2. Add Salt and Herbs:

   • Generously sprinkle salt over the skin and inside the cavity. Add bruised lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves for added aroma.

3. Rest the Pig:

   • Allow the pig to marinate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, in a cool place or refrigerator.

Practical Tip: The longer the marination, the more flavorful the meat will be.

Step 4: Prepare for Roasting

1. Preheat the Oven or Grill:

   • Preheat your oven or prepare your grill for roasting at a moderate temperature (around 180°C/350°F).

2. Secure the Pig:

   • If using a spit, secure the pig on the spit. If in an oven, place it in a roasting pan.

Step 5: Roast the Pig

1. Roasting Process:

   • Roast the pig for several hours, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The general guideline is about 1 hour per 5 kg of pig.

2. Check for Doneness:

   • The pig is done when the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Common Pitfall: Keep an eye on the skin to prevent burning; you can cover it loosely with foil if necessary.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Carving the Pig:

   • Once cooked, allow the pig to rest for about 30 minutes before carving.

2. Serving Suggestions:

   • Serve with steamed rice, fresh vegetables, and sambal (spicy sauce) for a complete meal.
