For a vegetarian version, substitute the bacon with smoked paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for heat. If you don't have red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. Don't overcrowd the pot when adding the collard greens; add them in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. The longer the collard greens simmer, the more tender they become, so feel free to adjust the cooking time to your liking.
