          - (opt)
          Chopped scallions & fresh
          Dill; for topping
          Steamed white rice; for
          - serving

 Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat @
 350ºF/175ºC.

 MAKE THE MEATBALLS: In a large skillet set over
 medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add
 the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent,
 3-4 minutes. Set aside at room temperature until cool
 enough to handle. In a large bowl, add the chicken,
 beef, matzo meal, egg, marjoram, and sautéed onions.
 Season with salt and pepper, and use your hands to mix
 well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up
 to overnight.

 When you are ready to cook the meatballs, remove the
 mixture from the refrigerator. Form the mixture into 15
 golf-ball-sized balls, about 1 1/2 ounces each. Transfer
 the meatballs to a large baking sheet and set aside.

 MAKE THE FRICASSEE: Generously season the chicken wings,
 gizzards, necks, and feet with salt and pepper. Set
 aside at room temperature for 10 minutes.

 Set a wide casserole or baking dish by the stove. In a
 large skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the
 oil. When the oil is hot, sear the wings until crispy
 and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the
 wings to the casserole. Sear the gizzards until crispy
 and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the
 gizzards to the casserole. Sear the necks until crispy
 and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the
 necks to the casserole. Sear the feet until crispy and
 browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the feet to
 the casserole. Sear the meatballs on all sides until
 browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer the
 meatballs to the casserole.

 Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining oil, and return
 to medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and
 garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the
 onions are softened and translucent, 7-8 minutes. Add
 the tomatoes and continue cooking just until they have
 begun to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and
 chili powder and continue cooking until the spices are
 very fragrant, 3 minutes more. Stir in the stock,
 vinegar, and sugar and bring to a simmer. Season with
 salt and pepper, then pour the tomato mixture into the
 casserole. Stir gently to coat the meat with the sauce
 without breaking up the meatballs.

 Cover the casserole with a lid or aluminum foil,
 transfer to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover
 and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the
 meat is tender and the juices are reduced and slightly
 glossy, but there is still a bit of juiciness in bottom
 of the dish, 30-45 minutes more. (The size and shape of
 your dish will affect how quickly this happens.)

 Remove the casserole from the oven and let cool slightly
 to allow the juices to thicken. Drizzle with schmaltz
 (if using), top with scallions and dill, and serve over
 rice.
