Leg of Goat Roast

Leg of Goat Roast is a salted, roasted goat leg in Skyrim that restores 10 Health and is cooked at any pot or spit.

Leg of Goat Roast is a whole goat leg rubbed with salt and roasted over the fire. The finished roast is a solid, no-frills meal. It is on the heavy side at 1.0 weight and sells for 4 gold.

Effects

Eating it restores 10 points of Health. It is a simple instant restore without any lasting effect, putting it at the upper end of what plain cooked meat provides. It still heals less than a dedicated potion, but costs only a salt pile and some meat you would otherwise sell for little.

How to make it

Cook it at any cooking pot or spit. Every character knows the recipe from the start, and one batch requires:

Where to find it

The documented way to get it is to cook it yourself. Cooking spots are found in many places, from homes in Riverwood to the inns of Whiterun and any house you buy with a kitchen.

Good to know

If weight is a concern, the Grilled Chicken Breast and Pheasant Roast weigh only 0.2 each, but restore half as much Health. The goat’s hide is a separate leather material, see Goat Hide.

Where to find it

  • Cooked at any cooking pot or spit from 1 Salt Pile and 1 Leg of Goat.
