Place the tomatoes in the roasting tin and coat with oil. Roast for a further 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to caramelise around the edges.
Meanwhile, pour the stock over the cous cous in a bowl, stir once then cover and leave to stand for 5 minutes until the couscous has absorbed the liquid. Fluff up the couscous and stir in the basil.
