SMOKED PORK CHOPS
There are pork chops and then there are smoked pork chops. The rub has just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness that complements the smoky flavor perfectly. Oak is my wood of choice for these but feel free to substitute any hard wood chips.

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.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB
A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side over medium-high heat, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
- To prevent the pork chops from drying out, marinate them in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, spices, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or smoker. If you're using a gas grill, add a few wood chips to the grill grates to create smoke.
- Serve the pork chops with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
These smoky grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will impress your family and friends. So fire up the grill and get grilling!
