Many cooks feel that curly parsley and Italian parsley are interchangeable in recipes, but the flavor to the dishes in which it is used. My preference is obvious since I always ask you to use it in my recipes.

Place the same pan back on high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and cook the artichoke hearts for 3 minutes to lightly brown. Add to the zucchini in the bowl.
In the same pan, set on medium-high heat, cook the remaining olive oil, onion, capers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and lemon zest for 2 minutes. Stir the basil, parsley, salt and pepper and cook for 1 more minute. Return the cooked artichokes and zucchini to the pan, stir thoroughly and heat through.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
