Preheat oven to 400°. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/2-inch shells; reserve shells. Chop pulp and reserve 2 cups; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion and reserved eggplant about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in ground pork, cumin and remaining 3-1/2 teaspoons Bouillon. Cook about 5 minutes or until pork is done, stirring frequently. Stir in rice, tomato sauce, raisins and olives and cook about 3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in MiniCube.
