Just goes to show that because one is named after a foodstuff (or perhaps 2?) doesn't mean you're always right about it ;)

Just to set tyhe recoprd straight, it turns out that Pina and Fra are probably right, it IS the Fakircook Grill method, but in the asker's case the "aromas con los que hemos espolvoreado la parrilla" must have been cloves!
"El procedimiento es sencillo: en primer lugar se calientan las puntas de la parrilla directamente sobre el fuego de gas, con la parrilla invertida descansando sobre sus asas, para después, y una vez dada la vuelta, insertar en los clavos los productos, que se cocinarán en cuestión de segundos. Los alimentos absorben los aromas con los que hemos espolvoreado la parrilla.
Cocine sin grasa.
Cocine sano.
Buen provecho a todo/as !

agree  PB Trans: This could work, although I prefer spike-grilled, as nails doesn't sound very appetizing. It's a recent invention by a Spanish chef: http://www.cookingconcepts.com/ESP/fakircook.html / http://www.cookingconcepts.com/ENG/fakircook.html

change the language to ENG in the top right corner, then go to the letter S in the window on the left, down to "spike-grilled..."

  -> It seemed the most logical option, thanks :)
disagree  PB Trans: No, this doesn't refer to the spice. E.g. "parrillas de faquir (la carne se pincha en clavos ardientes)" http://groups.msn.com/HISTORIADELAGASTRONOMIA/noticias.msnw?...

  -> Well that's not what the asker chose in the end. Thanks anyway :)
