Remove from heat and stir in as many oats as you need to bring the mixture to the correct consistency (you may need slightly more or less). The lentils should be moist, but sturdy enough to hold its shape solidly rather than filling the container. Mix well.
Lightly grease a baking dish or loaf tin or line with baking paper, and spoon in the lentil mixture. Spread out until smooth.
Bake at 200°C (Gas Mark 6 / 400°F) for 30-40 minutes, and then gently turn out onto a baking tray. If needed, broil for a few minutes to crisp and brown the top. Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes, before carefully slicing.
