Add in a bit of salt an...d pepper. If you want a little zip, add in some red pepper flakes. If you do not like parsley (really...give it a chance) substitute fresh spinach. Mix the mixture well. Next, stuff the artichokes with the parsley mixture. Gently bend back the leaves and really get them stuffed.
