carved capon / hand carved capon


Explanation:
I would say that "hand" is optional here, as "carved" usually implies that the meat has been carved with a hand held carving knife.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Allow the capon to rest for 20 minutes, then carve it and serve warm with the vegetables. Skim the fat off the pan juices and pour over the CARVED CAPON and vegetables."
  • "14. Skim the fat off the pan juices and pour over the CARVED CAPON and vegetables."
