Is that really a "bulb" of garlic or did you mean a clove?

Yah, a bulb (10-12 cloves in a bulb). Check google for mojo criollo and compare the (quantity of) ingredients to the above recipe.

Excellent recipe...I'm not a big fan of the goya version, but the the above recipe on pork -I'm sure will be excellent! We've done a very similar recipe on butts and had excellent roast pork (pernil style).
