Babi Panggang Karo (BPK)

Babi panggang Karo and Babi panggang Toba are two similar dishes made by the Christian Batak Toba and Batak Karo of North Sumatra. Pigs are slaughtered and used in their entirety to make babi panggang—bones for a clear soup, meat (including offal) to be grilled, and blood for a dipping sauce. Babi panggang Karo usually accompanied by clear pork bone soup, processed pork blood as dipping sauce, daun ubi tumbuk or mashed sweet potato leaves, and tuak or a drink of nira sap. The three dishes are served with plain rice and a sambal andaliman, made from fresh sichuan pepper.
