Steps

1
Combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, shallots or onion, garlic, ras el hanout, cumin, black pepper, salt, dill, and parsley in a large bowl. Stir just until combined — do not over-mix. Add a tablespoon or two of water as needed to keep the mixture moist.
2
Shape the mixture into balls or patties with your hands and set aside on a plate.
3
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4
Add a little more oil to the same pan along with the sliced onion and raisins.
5
Add the ras el hanout, sumac, salt, and pepper to the pan.
6
Cook the onion mixture, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown. Serve over or alongside the meatballs.
