In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat; quickly saute onion.

Cover and simmer 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from heat; add onion, blackberry preserves and pepper. Cool.

Spread about 1 tablespoon pate on each toasted bread slice. Top each with heaping teaspoon marmalade. Garnish with minced parsley.
