- Add the onion, garlic, and zucchini slices, and continue cooking until the onions are soft about 5-6 minutes longer.

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.
