Barbuto’s Lamb Ribs with Cranberries

If your idea of cranberries is limited to muffins and jellified sauce that holds its shape in a can, be sure to pay a visit to Jonathan Waxman’s rustic, West Village eatery to experience cranberries as they should be.   While the menu changes frequently, his current obsession with the tart, jewel-like fruit is yielding delicious results.  We’re particularly intrigued by a current special of Costini Di Agnello, juicy Lamb Ribs cooked in the wood-fire oven and anointed with Cranberries and Chiles.
