Squeeze out any excess liquid from the steamed mallow, then transfer it to a skillet.
Add all remaining ingredients except the olives, stir to combine, and sauté over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the flavors meld.
Adjust seasoning if desired, then serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with olives and preserved lemon rinds.
