Steps:
- To a large skillet, add the cracked coriander seeds, chipotle powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika and mustard powder. Toast over low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just toasted, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then mix with the salt.
- Heat up your grill with lump charcoal, making a hot and a slow zone. Dry the pork chops with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the spice mixture.
- Drizzle the seasoned pork chops with olive oil, and then place them on the hot side of the grill. Cook for about 8 minutes per side to develop a nice crust, then move to the slow zone of the grill and put the lid down. Continue to cook until the pork chops reach 140 degrees F. Remove to a platter or cutting board. Let the chops rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into noodles with a spiral vegetable slicer on the medium setting. Alternatively, use a Japanese mandoline or a sharp chef's knife to cut the zucchini into thin planks, then into strips lengthwise.
- Toss the zucchini noodles, corn and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl with the lime juice, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine, then stir in the dill and feta. Pour into a large serving bowl and serve alongside the pork chops.
ZUCCHINI STUFFED PORK CHOPS & MUSTARD SAUCE
This is my mother's recipe, and it's a good one! I've added a few things like the sesame seeds, but otherwise, I've copied it. It looks long, but this comes together very quickly! If you don't want to use the heavy cream, try it with sour cream, or lite sour cream.

Steps:
- Toss the zucchini and salt well in a colander and let it drain for about 30 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini dry (I use paper towels to do this).
- In a large non-stick skillet heat 3 tbsp of the oil and cook the garlic and the zuchini over a fairly low heat, stirring until it's just tender. (Don't cook it any longer or it will be too mushy).
- Stir in the parmesan and let cool.
- Cut a deep pocket in each chop and stuff with the zucchini.
- Heat the remaining oil in another large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
- Pat the chops dry with a paper towel, and coat them in the sesame seeds. Press the seeds in (you might need more or less depending on the size of your pc's) -- and saute (3 at a time if you like), turning them once, til they are firm to the touch (about 8 minutes total).
- Keep warm on a platter in the oven.
- Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce: In the oil remaining in the skillet that you cooked the pork chops in, saute the onion over medium high heat until it is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and de-glaze the pan. Whisk in the cream (or stir in the sour cream). Add the mustard, the parmesan cheese, and any juice that may have accumulated on the platter, and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
- I spoon it over the chops or you could serve them on top of a pool of sauce. Goes very well with spinach btw!

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. Bone-in pork chops will have more flavor than boneless pork chops, but they will also take longer to cook.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland, so it's important to season them well before cooking. You can use a simple salt and pepper rub, or you can get more creative with your seasoning. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Pork chops should be cooked over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and become tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The recipes in this article provide a variety of options for cooking pork chops, from simple pan-fried pork chops to more complex dishes like pork chops with a creamy mushroom sauce. No matter how you choose to cook them, pork chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
