Grilled Potatoes & Carrots Dijon; the bike path

Do you have a grill pan?

We still have a couple of them, which is good because they are becoming harder to find.

A grill pan is a pan that’s used for cooking vegetables on the barbecue grill.

For me, the perfect grill pan is a cheap, aluminum, oblong cake pan. It’s not easy to find a cheap aluminum pan of any shape or size. There are glass lasagne pans or non-stick steel cake pans and triple-layered copper and gold pans (kidding) that range from not cheap to outright expensive.

Cheap aluminum is really best.

It heats up quickly – which is good.

It’s cheap, which is better.

You can use it on any type of grill which means the bottom is going to get dirty and smoky and black. I always wash the inside of the pan (obviously) but never bother with the outside. It’s going to be sitting over flames the next time we use it….

I don’t know why (mon mari does the outdoor cooking) but it also tends to get dings and dents in it.(being aluminum and all) When it gets too crusty-looking it gets recycled and I break out a new one.

Grilled Potatoes & Carrots Dijon

Print Recipe

Dijon-style mustard lends a bite to these roasted vegetables, not much…. Just a little, to make them interesting. They can be done on the barbecue or in the oven; either way, stir them once or twice.

I’ll add that I’ve used the ‘disposable’ aluminum foil pans when desperate but they are not very sturdy.

We’ve been riding our bikes every week this summer and it’s been wonderful getting back out on the paths.

We ride on the path that goes next to the Canal de Garonne, which was built between 1838 – 1856.

It’s flat riding, except for the bits that go over bridges, or through towns or around marinas.

The path is for bicycles and walkers.

This being France, there are, of course, traffic signs. You can see the blue sign in the photo.

In this case, although it’s hard to tell in the photo, the main path curves to the right and goes under the bridge. The part you see going up to the bridge (with the sign banning horses and motorcycles) is for getting off the path.

The sign says to go slow and stay to the right. There is a white center line with speed bumps going under the bridge….

This is 2-lane bike traffic, after all.
