I liked how the pork cooked under the rub, but didn't love the flavor of it. Will look for another recipe.

The pork chop rub was great with a little heat. I used smoked paprika instead of regular and traded out 1 tsp of the paprika for 1 tsp of Chipotle seasoning to really give it that smoky flavor. It was awesome! The zucchini was a good compliment to the pork.

The flavor of the pork chops was very good, although I overcooked them by grilling them longer than the recipe suggested. I served them with corn on the cob. I grilled the zucchini another night. I'm not a huge fan of mustard, but the whole grain Dijon mustard I used was scrumptious with the grilled flavor of the zucchini.

I only made the pork chops, and while my husband loved them, the overwhelming paprika was too much for me.

Great flavor! The pork chop and the zucchini were equally amazing. A really good way to switch up normal zucchini.
