Green Bean With Lemon Recipes from Chile?

Does anyone know how to make green beans with lemon juice (chilean style). My boyfriend's mom always made him green beans with lemon juice and he talks about it all the time. I don't know if you need to add more than just lemon juice or if that's it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't ask his mom because she only speaks spanish and I want to surprise him. Thank you all very much.Green Bean With Lemon Recipes from Chile?
