- Step 7) Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the picadillo simmer for about 10–15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Step 8) While the picadillo is simmering, you can prepare your white rice.
- Step 9) Serve the picadillo warm over the cooked white rice.
- Optionally, you can garnish with additional sliced green olives and fresh cilantro.
