• 45ml buttermilk

• 45ml soured cream

• 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

• 1/4 teaspoons sugar

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 2 oranges, cut into suprêmes

Mash the cheese in a small bowl with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until combined but still a bit lumpy.
