• Marinate for about 1/2 hour in a mixture of oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, the zest from 2 lemons and the juice from one, and a little rice vinegar.
• Grill 2-3 minutes on each side till cooked through.
• While marinating, mince a couple of cloves of garlic.
• Saute until fragrant in a little olive oil.
• Add a bag of fresh spinach and wilt over med-high heat.
• When bright green and not quite finished, add a handful of chopped parsely, some dill (to taste, I don't like much dill), and the juice of half a lemon.

• Serve with sparkling water and some fresh crusty bread.
