Directions

In a zip lock bag combine ham cubes with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and let marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. Thread two pieces of ham, vegetables, olives and tomatoes on each skewer. On a medium high heat grill kebobs for about 12 minutes, just until vegetables are charred and softened.

Meanwhile make couscous. Bring stock to a boil, add couscous and basil, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add remaining ingredients. Place couscous on serving dish, lay kebobs over top. Sprinkle with feta cheese and basil; serve with Tzatziki.
