Spanish term or phrase: a la plancha

I know that this is 'grilled', I would just appreciate input on how to put this as a heading for a tapas menu, to make it sound appetizing. 'From the grill'? Or should I just put 'Grilled tapas' I don't really like that...Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

maryel: 11:42pm Aug 8, 2004 : Maureen, I guess your concern is to know what "a la plancha" means and not "how" it is expressed in English. In my answer I tried to do that, but the most widely used word, the one in the menus is "grilled". I assume that is the one cooks use to "bridge*
