Clean the ears well, remove the bristles and cut in half. Put in a saucepan, cover with water. Add 1.5 tablespoon salt, bay leaves, 6 unpeeled garlic cloves, ground cumin and paprika and cook for about 40 minutes.
Let cool down.
When they have cooled down well, cut into cubes about 2 x 2 cm, sauté with 2 finely chopped garlic cloves in a saucepan with a little oil, deglaze with sherry and let reduce a little. Now add the tomatoes and oregano and simmer for 10 minutes. Add parsley, a pinch of sugar and season with salt, pepper and possibly a little paprika powder.
