I believe the answer is:

ramekin

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

'small dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right start arranging me and relatives' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'start' suggests taking the first letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'relatives' becomes 'kin' (I've seen this in another clue).
The first letter of 'arranging' is 'a'.
'r'+'a'+'me'+'kin'='RAMEKIN'

'a special' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
