1: Prepare your onions in a large wide pot. Do not add water or oil. Turn the heat up to low and let them simmer for about 6 hours. They should be dark in color and caramelized. 2: Prepare meat mixture by mixing together veal and beef with matsa meal, egg, cilantro, paprika, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper. 3: When onions are ready, add raisins and let them caramelize for a few minutes. Add enough water to cover everything to create a base. Add salt and oil. 4: Form small meatballs and add them to the onion sauce. Cover the pot when done. Do not move the pot for at least 15-20 minutes until the meat is set, then mix a few times. 5: Cook for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, covered on low.
