I believe the answer is:

ramekin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food dish' is the definition.
'ramekin' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'food' bit.

'pound gets eastern family' is the wordplay.
'pound' becomes 'ram' (synonyms).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'ram'+'e'+'kin'='RAMEKIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ramekin that I've seen before include "Baking dish for one person" , "Individual baking dish" , "Small baking dish for one portion" , "pot" , "Small (savoury) dish for one person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
