Does anyone know how to make salvadorian rice and beans that have like a maroon color??

Answer 1

I think you soak the kidney beans in water overnight, well for at least 24 hours refreshing after 2 - 3.

The you use the water to cook the beans and add the rice 20 minutes before the beans are ready.

Answer 2

sounds like you are describing "Gallo Pinto" - a very popular Central American dish - you can probably do a search with that name and come up with an exact recipe.
