CREATIVITY Art Hike Challenge encourages guests to visit county parks

Johanna Miller

PASSION PROJECT Carlos Campos talks about a piece by Pricilla Martinez

that is part of the Art Hike Challenge, which will soon be expanding to other areas of the county.

JUMP INTO NATURE This artwork by Pricilla Martinez is one of many scattered around Pinto Lake County Park.

new series of murals has been installed at Pinto Lake County Park, with the goal of encouraging more visitors to the park and showcasing local art. The murals are part of the Art Hike Challenge, organized by County Parks Friends (CPF). Guests can download a map and locate each piece, take photographs with the art and then email CPF for a chance to win a prize. Created by Watsonville artist Pricilla Martinez, the murals are scattered along the park’s hiking trails and wide-open spaces. They feature everything from a group of children playing jump rope to a family of ducks. One piece, depicting two hands held together in prayer, is located near the shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe. The idea for the Art Hike Challenge came from Carlos Campos, mobilization leader with the CPF, who says he was looking for ways to safely engage the South County community with parks while bringing local art into the spotlight. “A lot of us in Watsonville have tried to get more art in our city parks, but it hasn’t always been

that easy,” Campos said. “So I thought, well, the next best thing is to have them at county parks.” Campos had seen Martinez’s Día de los Muertos cutout murals that were installed in the plaza last year and was inspired. “I saw those and was like, ‘How can we put those in more parks?’” he said. “They were only there for a short time… how could we install something like that and keep it for longer?” After Campos reached out, Martinez got to work in creating the murals. They were officially installed in late March, with the help of CPF staff and other mobilization leaders. In addition to highlighting the art, Campos hopes the challenge will bring more people to Pinto Lake County Park, which he called “a hidden gem.” “A lot of people from the county, who maybe aren’t from Watsonville… might not know all of this is here,” he said. The Art Hike Challenge is available to everyone, but is specifically used for the ParkRx program, in which doctors can prescribe free, outdoor activities directly to their patients. “Especially for kids… it’s a reminder that there are things you

On May 8, Art Outdoors: Hike to Heal began at Felton Discovery County Park. Next month, The 4 Mayors: Outside the Frame, and Santa Cruz County: Framing Nature will both kick off, with a series of artistic frames in city and county park locations in Watsonville, Capitola, Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley. Campos said he was surprised at how much has come out of his project. He was initially contracted to work for CPF for only three months, to come up with ideas during the pandemic. But as his project grew, so did his role. “I didn’t think it would get that big,” he said. “I didn’t think we’d be contracted to do a lot more. It feels good to bring art to my community.” Campos gave a lot of credit to CPF Executive Director Mariah Roberts and Parks & Programs Specialist Aniko Millan in helping organize the challenge and allowing it to grow as big as it has. “They’re the ones who did lots of the work, all the behindthe-scenes stuff,” he said. “This wouldn’t have actually happened without them.” Pinto Lake County Park is located at 757 Green Valley Road in Watsonville.

THE MIXING BOWL

Chinese Chive Dumplings sotanghon. They are readily available in most grocery stores. Although this is a familiar Asian recipe, it is similar to dumplings made around the world. I love pierogies, a Slavic dumpling that is very similar. With a little sour cream on the side, I also served these with broiled lamb chops.

Dough: 3/4 cups water 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more 1 teaspoon safflower or other neutral oil

2 cups chopped Chinese chives into 1/4-inch pieces 5 teaspoons safflower or other neutral oil, divided 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon minced ginger 1/3 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms, fresh or dried and soaked in hot water 1/2 cup mung bean vermicelli, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, drained and chopped 2/3 grated carrots 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper 2 teaspoons sesame oil Tarmo Hannula

CHIVE BOX Gently onion-flavored dumplings are a common street food

in Northern China and easy to make with this recipe.

By SARAH RINGLER

arlic chives, with their delicate white flowers, are often decorative garden plants in our area. But they are also edible and with their gentle oniony flavor, make a nice savory dumpling filling.

Translated from Mandarin, these dumplings are called Chive Boxes and are a common street food in northern China. They can be made any size. This recipe is adapted from one by Lisa Lin at healthynibblesandbits.com. There are many steps to making these and I learned a lot about Asian cooking from Lin’s clear instructions.

I bought my garlic chives at one of the 99 Ranch Markets over the hill in Mountain View. The chives came in large bunches so I chopped them all up and successfully froze what I didn’t use. The dumplings also freeze well. Mung bean vermicelli have many names, some of which are cellophane noodles, bean thread, glass noodles, fensi, long rice and

it is very warm to touch but not scalding. Carefully pour the water into the bowl with the flour. Using chopsticks or a wooden spoon, mix the flour and dough. Once the dough starts coming together, drizzle in 1 teaspoon of safflower oil. Use your hands to gather all the bits of dough and knead together for several minutes. The dough may be a little tacky but it shouldn’t be sticky. If the dough is feeling dry, add a tiny splash of water. Shape the dough into a smooth ball. Place in a bowl and cover with a wet towel. Let dough rest for 30 minutes. To make the filling, prepare all the ingredients in advance. Chop the chives and put into a mixing bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of safflower oil and toss with the chives. Set the bowl aside. Prepare the eggs by first lightly beating them in a bowl. Then heat 1 teaspoon of safflower oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil around and once the pan is hot, add the beaten eggs. Cook them for about 1 minute, scrambling the eggs with a spatula. Turn off the heat, and use the spatula to break up any large chunks of egg into small pieces, no larger than 1/2inch pieces. Transfer the eggs to a plate and wipe down the skillet. Drizzle the remaining 2 teaspoons of safflower oil into the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and mushrooms and sauté for a minute. Mix in the carrots and chopped vermicelli and stir for another minute. Turn off the heat. Season with the salt, sugar, ground coriander, and white pepper and stir to combine. Taste

and adjust flavors. Transfer everything to the plate with the eggs and let cool for 10 minutes. When cool, pour the egg and vegetable filling into the bowl with the chives. Drizzle in the sesame oil and toss to combine. You are now ready to roll out the dough and make the chive boxes. Flour your work surface and a large baking sheet where you will put the boxes. Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for a few seconds. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, or 8 if you want larger ones. Shape each piece of dough into a ball. Roll out the dough into circles, about 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches in diameter. Use a dry cloth to cover the rolled-out dough to prevent them from drying out. Take a disk of dough and place about 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the dough in half and seal so that you end up with chive boxes that are a halfmoon shape. Make sure that the boxes are properly sealed. Using your thumb to pinch small pleats into the dough. Put each one on the floured baking sheet and cover with a dry cloth to keep them from drying out. Repeat with the remaining dough. To finally cook the boxes, get out a large skillet with a lid. Keep an eye on the boxes as they can burn easily. Fill a measuring cup with about 1/2 cup of water and set it next to the stove. That will be enough water for 2 batches. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of safflower oil to a large skillet and put over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, place 6 chive boxes onto the pan. Fry them for 1-2 minutes, watching to see that they’re lightly golden on the bottom. Flip them over and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly golden. Hold the lid of the skillet in one hand and use it as a shield as you pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan. Cover the skillet with the lid. The pan will sputter and bubble. Lower the heat and cook for 3-4 minutes. Uncover the pan and flip the chive boxes over. Keep cooking and flipping the boxes until all the water has evaporated and there is a nice crust on both sides of the chive boxes. Transfer the cooked boxes to a serving plate. Repeat for the remaining chive boxes. Serve chive boxes immediately with dipping sauce.
