  Preparing Boneless Leg of Lamb
• Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C). 
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the lamb, fat-side up first, over direct heat, with the lid closed, until nicely marked, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the lamb over and grill for 5 minutes more (if flare-ups occur, move the lamb temporarily over indirect heat). Move the lamb over indirect medium heat and grill, fat-side down, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 20 to 30 minutes more for medium rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the lamb should read 54ºC. Because of the differences in the thickness of the meat, there will be some rare, some medium and some well-done slices. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the kale and white beans.
• In a large, deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat on the stove, warm the oil. Add the kale, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the kale is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes. Then add the beans, butter, ¾ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat.
