For moistness, wash rice. Combine with green onions and garlic in medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until rice dries and becomes aromatic. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add parsley and dill. Cover and adjust heat to a simmer. Cook for about 50 minutes, or until rice is tender. Squeeze spinach gently to remove excess liquid. Stir into rice and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in lemon juice and honey. Serve with lemon wedges for additional seasoning at the table. Makes 6 servings.
